COULD exercise be the
answer to successfully
quitting smoking?
Research fellow Vaughan
Roberts and his team believe
it could help.
They know that exercise
has a positive effect on with-
drawal symptoms when
people stop smoking.
We are unsure what inten-
sity of exercise is most ben-
eficial and what the mechan-
ism is behind it which makes
exercise work, Mr Roberts
says.
Researchers at the Clinical
Trials Research Unit and the
Department of Sport and
Exercise Science at Auckland
University are undertaking a
clinical trial to find out about
the effect exercise has on
tobacco withdrawal symp-
toms.
The trial is looking for 50
smokers, who don t usually
do regular exercise, to come
into the Tamaki campus lab
and participate in small
bouts of exercise.
The volunteers, who must
be between 18 and 70 years
old, will be recruited and
screened for eligibility.
Participants will then be
asked to attend three study
days where they will take
part in 15-minute bouts of
exercise on a stationary bike.
The unit is a group of
health researchers with an
international reputation for
studies into the causes, pre-
vention and treatment of
leading health problems.
Cessation smoking is a
major part of the research
undertaken.
This study is focused on the
immediate effect exercise has
on withdrawal symptoms.
It s working towards
finding ways to help people,
Mr Roberts says.
People interested in
quitting smoking will be
offered support at the end of
the study.
Email Vaughan Roberts on
v.roberts@ctru.auckland.
ac.nz or call 373-7599 ext
84718 to apply for the study.

Setback for battle to save art deco houses
By AMY McGILLIVRAY
The demolition of two art
deco houses at the centre of
so much controversy is due to
get under way once again.
The destruction of two of
the three stucco buildings in
Turua St, St Heliers, was put
on hold before Christmas so
the Auckland Council could
take time to consider what, if
anything, could be done to
save them.
Council chief executive
Doug McKay says there is no
need for a heritage assess-
ment to be carried out
because previous reports,
which suggest the buildings
are in poor condition, are
comprehensive enough.
He has also ruled out buy-
ing the site because developer
Michael Markham would
require the council to buy all
seven properties on the east-
ern side at an estimated cost
of more than $10 million.
The council was advised
that shifting the houses was
not a feasible option.
Art Deco Society preser-
vation chairwoman and Save
Our St Heliers spokeswoman
Dorothy McHattie is disap-
pointed the council has not
stopped the demolition.
Mayor Len Brown and the
council are failing to fulfil
their duty to protect a signifi-
cant part of Auckland s heri-
tage.
The group is determined
not to give up and is again
appealing to the council to
issue a heritage order to
allow time for a full heritage
assessment.
Orakei councillor Cameron
Brewer would also like to see
a proper assessment carried
out.
Demolishing these heri-
tage buildings without coun-
cil conducting a full heritage
assessment is negligent at
best, he says.
Mr Markham has consent
to demolish all the buildings
on the eastern side of Turua
St including the three art
deco houses and villas dating
back to the 1890s.
He plans to build a multi-
purpose development.
Nosiness
nabs trio
Police applaud the
efforts of a Stonefields
resident who reported
suspicious activity in the
early hours of Friday
morning.
A van was seen driv-
ing up and down a street
about 6am and two men
were spotted getting out
to peer into car windows.
A police car was dis-
patched and a white van
was stopped on Lunn
Ave shortly after.
Its three occupants
included a 40-year-old
from Mt Wellington, a
25-year-old man from
Otahuhu and a 20-year-
old man from
Pakuranga.
Items in the back of
the van are believed to
have been from three
separate car thefts.
All three men have
been charged with three
thefts each and the
driver will also be
charged with driving
while disqualified for a
seventh time.
Mt Wellington senior
sergeant Hirone Ware-
tini says it was a very
good catch by the boys .
It was actually really
good work by the inform-
ant.
Mr Waretini urges
people to be nosey if
they see something
slightly suspicious and
call the police.
